Fat Camp & Family Trauma with Jessica Kirson

Mazel morons! This week, we’re joined by comedy legend Jessica Kirson for an all-time Jewish episode. From fat camp trauma and diet-obsessed parents to broken stadium seats, secret eating, Spanx for men, and the horrors of 55+ Florida comedy crowds, absolutely nothing is off limits. Jessica opens up about addiction, family dysfunction, bombing for elderly audiences, and why every Jewish person seems to have IBS. Plus: sperm donors, DoorDash etiquette, influencer culture, and the most unhinged Moron Mail yet. What are ya nuts?! Love ya!
